Will prevent me from ever considering full time here... correct assessment or not?

You have left a major mecca of heart surgery. The heart-lung machine was developed in the basement of Childrens Hospital and first used on a Cincinnati firefighter with burnt lungs. TPA the life saver for strokes was developed by the Cincinnati Cardiologist, Dr. Dean Keriakis.
This is Florida and the whole State is not as good medically as what we are used to in my opinion.
We continue to return to Cincinnati for our oncologist and for our daughter who has a Congenital Heart Defect treated at Childrens, (although she is 53).
